Good evening, @heidi-spshabitat. 

Thanks for coming back and asking additional questions. 

Using a trial version of your QBO may be better off for you and your business when testing out a new chart of account. The trial version allows you to import and export your own data while trying out features and much more. 

Try it free for 30 days

I hope this helps. Feel free to come back if you have further questions. Have a great day!
